Treating Cancer with Apricot Kernels

Come on, don't spread lies and bullshit. People might fall for it. Where to start...

First, there has already been clinical trials of amygdalin (Laetrile) since the 80s and found that indeed there was no benefit observed. Here is the link to the trial in a peer reviewed journal https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7033783

Also, here is a review study where comparing different studies in literature review concluded that there is no convincing evidence that amygdalin pas positive effects on cancer patientes.

You listed the book Naturally Occurring Glycosides and copy pasted the resume content from the Wiley website (by the way the link is wrong here it is the correct one)
https://www.wiley.com/en-nl/Naturally+Occurring+Glycosides-p-9780471986027

I don't know if the information is correct as I do not own the book but here is a multiple articles review on Cyanogenic glycosides in ScienceDirect stating the toxicity and no effect on cancer treatment
https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/biochemistry-genetics-and-molecular-biology/cyanogenic-glycosides

Edward Griffin was a writer not a doctor, or scientist, or researcher.
Did not cared to look further than that here is his wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._Edward_Griffin

You make the statement "Laetrile has a specific cancer preventive and controlling effect"
where is your proof backing it up. I tried to look for a publication by Dean Burk related to his study but I could not find one (please if you have it I would like to read it).

Phillip Day also is not educated in medicine or science, he is a sales and marketing guy. He also has not published in a peer reviewed journal about his findings.

Please don't spread false information that can harm someone.

OK - maybe you should stick to pushing chemo and play it safe - LOL!

And wikipedia is always a reliable source, but I've heard snopes is even bettter...

PS - "Please don't spread false information that can harm someone" - like what? - what on earth are you actually trying to say?

I am not pushing chemo, I HATE chemo and is a last resort to a horrible disease.

Let me tell you why I took my time to actually do some research on your discussion points and why your way of thinking is harmful.

Both my grandparents died from cancer and my other grandma has cancer at the moment (chemo worked and went into remission), my father suffers from prostate cancer (again, controlled and is in remission), three years ago my wife had two tumors removed (one in her breast another in her womb). I KNOW cancer and I can tell you is horrible for both the person who has it and the family.

When trying to assimilate the reality of cancer, you want to find a magic cure, a potion that will make it vanish or at least stop killing you. You feel powerless and when someone says X can cure it, or Y can help you then you try everything because there might be a chance. Of course if there's a demand for it you can sell whatever you want under semi-true information and get a quick buck (at the expense of others).

That is why is so dangerous to spread this type of information.

First, people who do not have cancer might think that taking this will prevent them from getting it.

Second, you give false hope to people who have cancer and will try to look for any solution that sounds plausible to avoid the horrors of the disease and the vomit inducing, weakening and poisoning treatment that is chemo.

Finally and the most important, focusing on already debunked treatments provides only noise in finding the cure for cancer. Now people will try to get labs and researchers to look for a cure again in laetrile, for example, where it was debunked 30 years ago.

Time and money should be focused on other alternative treatments that have not been studied. You never know if a certain fungi, plant, bacteria or something else could actually cure or stop the metastasis of cancer but you are not looking because you still focus on debunked treatments pushed by personal agendas to sell some product or book or just gain recognition.

That is why this type of information is dangerous.

I'm really sorry to hear of all those people near to you having cancer, but what you just said is all quite deranged in my opinion.

I do have a bit of back story on this myself, but I'm not going to get into it here other than to say cancer is fully reversible, and I couldn't disagree more with everything you just said. But arguing won't do either of us any good. I'm just putting information out there, and how people react to it is entirely their choice.
